3 Update EBB Setup Files

This chapter contains the topic:

3.1 Updating EBB Setup Files

To update your EBB setup files, EBB must already exist on your system and use system code 98. If EBB exists on you system for releases prior to A9.1, you must convert from your previous version.

3.1.1 Before You Begin

Identify the job queue, message out queue, and final out queue. Ensure that the output queue for storing reports, EBBSTART, exists. If any of these processing queues do not exist, you must create them.

Field Explanation
Convert from previous EBB version Indicates whether you want to convert EBB data files from a previous version of EBB. The valid values are:

Y - convert data files

N - do not convert data files

If you enter Y, you must also enter the name of your current production data library. If you enter N, EBB proceeds to the EBB Setup File Maintenance screen without updating any files.
Previous EBB data library The previous production data library.
Current EBB data library The current production data library.
Monitor Delay Time The number of seconds between successive runs of the EBB monitor. JD Edwards World recommends 300 to 900 seconds (5 to 15 minutes). This does not result in undue processing requirements on the system, yet is sufficient for the EBB monitor to burst reports.
JOBQ to run EBB monitor in The default job queue. JD Edwards World recommends the default, EBBJOBQ, unless you changed the name during installation.
OUTQ to receive bound output The default out queue to which burst and/or bound reports are stored. JD Edwards World recommends the default, EBBFINAL, if you want to store the burst and/or bound reports to a separate out queue.
OUTQ to receive error output The default output queue to which messages are written when select keys are not found. JD Edwards World recommends the default, EBBERRQ.
Function PRINT is the default routing function and must always be the first function for a select key. You cannot modify this field.

Note: For an individual select key, you can use the PRINT routing function to override the receiving output queue.
Want a banner page to print Indicates whether a banner page prints with the report. The valid options are:

Y - prints a banner page

N - does not print a banner page

The default is Y. You can override this option for a version ID using individual select keys.
Keep spool files Indicates whether the monitor stores or deletes the original unburst reports. Valid values are:

Y - store the original reports

N - delete the original reports

JD Edwards World recommends that you set this to Y initially.
JD Edwards World DREAM Writer Source File The Source File Name field contains the name of the file where the source for an object exists. In the program generator File Specifications this name is defaulted to "JDESRC". In combination with the source library name it identifies where the program generator can find the source for each data file, display file or report file which it must analyze to create the data field parameters. As used in the automated installation processing file this is the source file of an object at the time the object was created.
Source library The name of the source library.
Write audit log records Indicates whether EBB tracks and saves the processing results of an EBB version. The valid values are:

Y - saves an audit log

N - does not save an audit log
